Story
Elegant Kate, walking a tightrope over an abyss of lies...sensitive, sensible, self-contained Cecie...Ginger, the heiress, sexy, vibrant, richer than sin...and poor, hopeless, brilliant Fig. They came together as sorority sisters on a Southern campus in the '60s. Four young women bound by rare, blinding early friendship, they spent two idyllic spring breaks at Nags Head, North Carolina, the isolated strip of barrier islands where grand old weather-beaten houses perch defiantly on the edge of a storm-tossed sea.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
Martin Amis first tackled the Holocaust in 1991 with his bestselling novel Time's Arrow. He returns again to the Shoah with this astonishing portrayal of life in "the zone of interest," or "kat zet"—the Nazis' euphemism for Auschwitz. The narrative rotates among three main characters: Paul Doll, the crass, drunken camp commandant; Thomsen, nephew of Hitler's private secretary, in love with Doll's wife; and Szmul, one of the Jewish prisoners charged with disposing of the bodies.

Paris, 1720. La Salpêtrière hospital is in crisis: too many occupants, not enough beds. Halfway across the world, France's colony in the wilds of North America has space to spare and needs families to fill it. So the director of the hospital rounds up nearly a hundred female “volunteers” of childbearing age—orphans, prisoners, and mental patients—to be shipped to New Orleans. Among this group are three unlikely friends: a sharp-tongued twelve-year old orphan, a mute ‘madwoman,’ and an accused abortionist.

None of these Fox women were worth it
I am torn with this book. Lovely performance. The characters including Rip were willing lambs to the slaughter. Ruth was horrible & evil. None of The Fox daughters were worth Rip Bowing constant sacrifices of her own family and men. Rip could have left. I am struggling with this mentality of pre Civil War slavery dedication to this family in 30s to I believe 70s or 80s. Rip didn’t even try to find her own child but transfers all her love to Ruth’s offspring so she can protect them. But she never protects any of them. Ruth does her worst and gets away with it for decades over and over while Rips watches. Ruth is this gigantic spider who weaves a web in the house and all over the town while Rips sits and watch her catch and destroy all those she claims to protect. Ruth is an evil character that needed a protagonist that was up for the job. Ruth was very well written but the other ones needed some backbone including Nell. I thought Yancy was going to be the one. So I am torn about whether it is a good book or not because I do not care for the protagonists.

Anne River Siddons' southern gothic masterpeice
What other book might you compare Fox's Earth to and why?
Barbara Kingslover's "The Poisenwood Bible". Both seem to be the most important book of their career.

Wonderful Read (listen)
I have always enjoyed Anne River Siddons books, Fox's Earth did not disappoint. I first thought I would not like the narration however I was wrong, Sally Darling did a terrific job building the drama and the Southern drawl in her redition of this novel. Thank you Audible and Thank you Anne River Siddons.

One of my favorite authors
Ruth Yancy Fox represents those people in one's life who try to steer your path in the direction that they think is best. Of course, her actions, for the most part, are larger than life, but certainly ring true. I wish more of Ms. Siddons books had been recorded unabridged. Her stories set in the South are perfect. Don't understand why this has not been corrected.

Evil disguised as Beauty
Do not read this before listening to the book.
An anti-heroine dominates the story. Her misdeeds and outright cruelty dominate the 19 hours of the narrative. Almost any character that was likeable was destroyed, or needlessly suffered in her wake.
The view of Southern life, and the 75 years that the novel spanned were interesting but I personally prefer a character that I cheer for, not one where I am hoping at each turn for her demise.
The narration was excellent.
It was worth listening to this book, but I will never count it among my favorites.

Normally I just rate by stars. This book I purchased long ago. I wish I had read it then. All I can say is micro management/ / manipulation
It’s amazing. A must read. Couldn’t put it down
To much southern accent that I had a hard time differentiating the characters. Love to see this as a movie. 😀

Narrated litrature at its best
I first listened to this book 10 years ago and was excited to see audibles now caries it. ARSiddons is an amazing author in the same style as Pat Conroy and this is one of her best works. Not only is the Classic Southern Gothic writing style incredible, But it is also read by the only person who does work like this Justice, Mrs.Sally Darling makes the characters and the this wonderfully complex story come to life with her amazing narration.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!
An excellent story! Enough drama to be interesting, enough romance (but not sappy), good character development. Cannot say enough good things about the author, and the narrator was superb! I have read most of Siddons books and enjoyed them immensely. Having this one read to me was outstanding! I always feel guilty when I get involved in reading a book that I can't put down. Having them on a Audible relieves that guilt, and makes boring, jobs and driving exciting. Thank you Audible, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Sally Darling!
